My ex-wife started taking flying lessons about the time our divorce started
and she got her license shortly before our divorce was final, later that same year.
Yesterday afternoon I got a phone call, that she narrowly escaped injury in the aircraft
she was piloting. Seems she was forced to make an emergency landing in
Southern Tennessee because of bad weather. Thank God the kids weren't with her.
The NTSB issued a preliminary report, citing pilot error: Judy was flying a
single engine aircraft in IFR (instrument flight rating) conditions while only having
obtained a VFR (visual flight rating) rating.
The absence of a post-crash fire was likely due to insufficient fuel on board.
No one on the ground was injured.
The photograph below was taken at the scene to show the extent of damage to her aircraft
.
She was real lucky.
